Don't know how this hotel ever received 4 star grading as it was a huge disappointment. Maintenance is certainly not a priority cleaning also not. The bathroom was sickening and the carpets in the room was dirty! The food, however was great.

The hotel is in a beautiful part of the KZN Midlands, close to Midmar Dam and along the Midlands Meander. The rooms are quaint and those that are being renovated are great, while the others are charming if a bit older. The staff are sensational. Very accommodating, professional and competent. Fully recommend this hotel for an affordable but comfortable stay,

Spent a night there with a few other couples and we were extremely disappointed after the great reviews we had seen. Only one bath towel, no dstv remote, shabby bathroom and breakfast definitely nothing to write home about. What a pity.

Spent a night here while attending a wedding in the area and was disappointed by this hotel. The images and description on the website paints a far prettier picture than what we found. The hotel is dated and in need of an upgrade. We booked the luxury room, which sadly is located in a block reminiscent of dormitories and was basic. Comfortable enough for a short stay. Breakfast is basic and service was terribly slow. However staff were super friendly and obliging! It’s ok for a short stay. But I won’t recommend as a place to go to for a vacation or longer stay. The gardens are beautiful.

The venue and rooms do have character but the hotel grounds are not looked after and maintenance is needed. The veranda of our room was really dirty and the view from the window was not nice. On the Friday evening there were 2 parties where a group of people slept in rooms close to us and were talking loudly and making a noise at 11pm. Our breakfast in the morning was poor and we decided to have coffe and a muffin. The only Excellent feedback was the food at the snooty fox restaurant. It was excellent and so delicious. If this hotel took some pride in keeping the hotel looking fresh and clean it would be a winner.

Closely situated to Midmar entrance. Less than 500 m drive approximately. Needed accommodation for the 226 Challenge. Service, flexibility and food was excellent. Thanks for great stay. Vodacom signal not strong all over. Wifi in reception.

We had a small group dinner of 20 people celebrating 2 anniversaries. The venue was neat, well decorated and welcoming. It was a cool night but inside it was warm and cozy. The staff were friendly and a pleasure to work with from booking stage right until the actual evening. The food was wonderful! Even vegetarians were well taken care of. We requested to bring our own drinks and that was accommodated effortlessly. All-jn-al, the evening was fantastic.

Had a really lovely lunch at the Snooty Fox restaurant at Fern Hill. Food was excellent, staff very friendly, welcoming and service is good. Piano player tinkling away on the corner was a nice touch too.
